Chapter 55:-for-tat
There is no conclusion in the court discussion!
Although Tan Xiaozu and Zhang Huai supported the attack on Xiliang on behalf of the military, Xu You did not express his position, and An Xiulin could not finally make up his mind. But Xie Xiwen knows that Zhu Li represents Zhu Zhi's attitude, Zhu Zhi's attitude is the attitude of Yangzhou Gate Valve, Xu You almost wears the same pants as Yangzhou Gate Valve, no matter who wins or loses Wei Jun and Rouran, Xu You must still support sending troops.
That night, Tao Jiang was on duty at Shangshutai, Xie Xiwen rested, he ordered people to prepare food tables and dishes in the courtyard, the steward felt strange, and asked, "Is the main guest in the court?" Do you want to prepare some good wine? ”
Xie Xiwen said with a smile: "No matter how good the wine is, it is no better than the Lansheng wine in the palace, the guests bring their own, let's not offer ugliness!" ”
At the beginning of twilight, Xu You really came to visit with the Lansheng wine that had just been sent from the palace, looked at Xie Xiwen who was sitting comfortably in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuanhui, uninvited evil guests, don't turn them away!" ”
Xie Xiwen made a gesture to sit down and said, "Lan Sheng wine can't be eaten at leisure, tonight with the light of the slight, I will get drunk and rest!" ”
Xu You slapped off the stopper, the smell of wine was fragrant, and said, "Come, get drunk!" ”
The two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, only talked about Fengyue, not about political affairs, and quickly drank a whole jar of wine. Xie Xiwen was drunk, already a little drunk, his robe was scattered, he sang with chopsticks, and said: "When is the moon in the blue sky, I will stop the cup today and ask." People can't climb the bright moon, but the moon walks with people. As bright as a flying mirror, the green smoke is extinguished...... Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients. If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together. I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle...... Weizhi, this poem of yours is elegant, full of spirit, quite immortal, people call you the master of poetry in the world, I think it is still too low......"
Xu You smiled: "Poetry and Taoism, why worry about it? Brother Xuanhui sits in the center and rules the world, this is a model of my generation of scholars. ”
Xie Xiwen put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "Actually, everyone knows that if there is no slight combination, if there is no general's life, I am a white cloth, from a humble background, and I have no reputation, how can I be qualified to sit in the pavilion and give orders?" The Shang Shu servant shot picked up in vain may not be convincing to everyone! ”
"Uncle Sun Ao is in the sea, and Baili Xi is in the city, and his background and fame have never been a bargaining chip to win the respect of others. What's more, Brother Xuanhui is the six wields of the country, and what he seeks is to promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages, to elect officials and talents, to have a fixed mind, and not to covet it, not those tricks that cannot be put on the table and compete in the battlefield are comparable. ”
Xie Xiwen raised his head, the moonlight swayed on his sideburns, and he actually had a few strands of gray hair, and said in a low voice: "Weizhi, I am willing to forget my body and become the master of the prosperous industry, so that the service is lenient and the punishment is clear." However, the priority is not outside, but inside. The lord first ascended to the great treasure, the undercurrent in the capital surged, the Yu family and the Liu family will not be willing to lose their status in the court, they are waiting to see how the court will deal with the Xiao family, a little careless, the situation that has just been pacified will be divided and turbulent again. You come from a wealthy family, don't you know that the power of the gate valve is enough to compete with the imperial power? And the soldiers have always been fortunate for their military exploits, so the two generals Tan and Zhang advocated sending troops to Guanzhong, regardless of the difficulties of the imperial court. It's good to say that if you win, the soldiers are in danger, in case you are defeated by the Wei army......"
Xie Xiwen's expression was solemn and terrifying, as if his eyes were wet with evening frost, and he stared straight at Xu You, and said: "Do you know that Emperor Wen gradually lost the heart of the court and the ambition, which gave An Xiuming and Xiao Xunqi the courage to plot against him, and it was from the failure of the Third Northern Expedition...... A lesson from the past, a teacher of the future, although I have no talent for management and pleasure, I also understand that the damage to the prestige of the Lord has just given those people an excuse to take advantage of the situation...... The key is also beneficial to the state, the Heavenly Master Dao has turned Yizhou into an iron wall for many years, so what should Sun Guan do? knows that he will rebel sooner or later, but at the moment, he is mainly appeased, waiting for the opportunity to find a solution? Or do you want to directly crusade against it and bring Yizhou back under the rule of the imperial court? No matter which strategy is adopted, at least the first opportunity is on me, but as long as the troops are sent to Xiliang, the first opportunity will be to the Yizhou side, and we will throw a mouse bogey, and the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen...... Weizhi, the internal worries are so sinister, do you still support sending troops to Xiliang and start a war with Wei? ”
Xu You slowly drank the residual wine in the cup, and said heartily: "Xuanhui, you live in the temple, and your thoughts are more far-reaching than ours, but this bone in Guanzhong, no matter how hard it is, you have to gnaw it down, don't care how many people die, don't be afraid of Wei State interference, even if Yu and Liu have two hearts, even if Yizhou rebels, you must take advantage of this once-in-a-century opportunity to seize Guanlong's horse farm and the trade route to the Western Regions at all costs." ”
Xie Xiwen sighed and said, "Weizhi, why don't you understand?" If the lord can't sit on this throne, even if you take Xiliang, you won't be able to keep it! ”
"Take Xiliang, whether it is the Yuliu Gate Valve or the Heavenly Master Dao, it will no longer pose the slightest threat to the Lord!" Xu You hesitated for a while, and said: "Brother Xuanhui, let's tell you directly, in order to create this opportunity, Zhu Tingshi has been thinking hard and planning for many years, Chu, Wei, Liang, and Rouran are all chess pieces on the chessboard, and hundreds of thousands of the most elite troops are killing rivers of blood, he has gambled everything, and whoever stops it will die without a place to be buried." The reputation of human slaughter is not something that is endowed by poetry......"
The four kingdoms are the chessboard, and the sentient beings are the chess pieces, is this to put Zhu Zhi on the altar? Xie Xiwen didn't believe it at all, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and said, "Oh, Zhu Tingshi threatens me?" The country has its own laws, and people can slaughter defenseless people and unrighteous white thieves, but they may not be able to kill the court's third-grade ministers! ”
This is indeed what Zhu Zhi meant, Xie Xiwen is difficult to convince, this is expected. Anyone who can achieve a great cause is a person with a strong mind, and it is extremely difficult to change the things that he recognizes, so Zhu Zhi clearly told Xu You in the letter, and conveyed his original words to Xie Xiwen word for word, resolutely indicating his attitude, and even at the cost of completely tearing his face!
"It's not a threat, it's a good word!" Xu You didn't see how to move, the bamboo chopsticks in his hand swept over Xie Xiwen's cheek, and with a loud sound, they were inserted into the trunk of the locust tree behind him, a few inches deeper, and the tail of the chopsticks trembled, and said: "For example, just now, I want to kill Brother Xuanhui, you have no chance of luck." But in the same way, if it was Zhu Zhushi sitting opposite me, I was just about to do it, but I was afraid that before I picked up the chopsticks, the person who died must be me! ”
Xie Xiwen finally changed color!
Xu You's tone was never sincere, and said: "Everyone is for the sake of national affairs, don't be suspicious because of this, no matter how big the differences are, there is always a way to solve them, so as not to go to the point of meeting each other." The reason why I support Zhu Zhushi is because of the pros and cons, although there are risks in sending troops, the benefits that can be reaped far outweigh the risks. Brother Xuanhui, please take a look," he dipped his fingers in the wine and drew a few lines on the desk, "The Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran fought a national war, and even if they win, it was a miserable victory, and they were unable to look south at all." Xiliang Yao Ji is not in the right position, Yao Jin is in our hands, and Liangguo is centrifuged, which is the weakest time. As for Yu and Liu, who you are worried about, as long as you leave Xiao Shi still, they will continue to wait and see, and they will not worry. The only thing to worry about is Sun Guan, the Heavenly Master Dao knows that the end is coming, and he will be desperate, so if he can't send troops, he will not change this fact, he can choose a good will be the captain of the Nanban, lead 20,000 elite soldiers to garrison Yiling, and choke the throat of Yizhou, Sun Guan is the turtle in the urn, and he can't advance, he can't retreat, and so he pacifies Xiliang, and then sends two armies, one from Hanzhong out of Baishui Pass, approaching Chengdu, and one from Yiling out of Jiangguan, coercing Fuling, and flattening Bashu with the momentum of thunder, and the Quartet can ...... peace"
"On paper!"
Xie Xiwen said coldly: "What Wei Zhi thinks is too simple......"
"If you look ahead, you'll miss the opportunity!" Xu You can be regarded as reassured, and persuaded hard: "When the Northern Wei Dynasty relaxes its breath, Yao Ji will also sit firmly on the throne, and there will be no possibility of plotting Xiliang." In just twenty or thirty years, what will Jiangdong do to stop the millions of iron horsemen going south? ”
Xie Xiwen laughed and said, "Wei Zhi can't help but pretend to be sensational!" I have Qing and Xu Erzhou to guard the Huai River, and there are Jing and Xiang to control the Yangtze River, and now I am a virtuous king, as long as the civil servants take honesty and prudence as their teachers, the military generals will be loyal to the dynasty, and assist with one heart, and the discipline of the Ming Gang, the reform of maladministration, the rectification of officials, and the light taxation, even if there are millions of troops, it is difficult to surpass the Jianghuai half a step! ”
The two of them did not speculate, and it would not help to talk about it, but they reached an impasse. Xu You got up at the right time to say goodbye, and when he got out of the house, Qingming looked at his face and said, "Didn't negotiate?" ”
Xu You smiled bitterly: "He focuses on the pros and cons in front of him, and always feels that the westward expansion is too dangerous......"
"Rat-eyed!" Qingming said: "Such a mediocre person is in a phase, sooner or later it is a problem in the heart, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible!" ”
Xu You looked back at this simple mansion with only two entrances, shook his head and said: "Xie Xiwen is upright and thrifty, he doesn't even want the mansion of the former King of Nanyang that the Lord rewarded him, and rents this ordinary mansion to settle down, if it is a phase, it is a blessing for Da Chu!" It's just that their positions are different, Xie Xiwen wants to use a year or two to stabilize the domestic situation, and then slowly figure it out, which can't be wrong. But Fourth Uncle Zhu finally tore open the iron chain that has been tightening Jiangdong's neck for a hundred years, no matter what, he can't miss the revenge of the Han people because of the opposition of some people! ”
The two walked out of the alleyway, and Qingming suddenly said: "Just now, Mrs. sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Qiyi went to Benwu Temple to pay tribute to Master Tanyu, worried that he was too sad, let us go over and have a look after the matter." ”
When Xu You heard this, he looked at the direction of Benwu Temple, which was almost in ruins, and the once grand scene of Buddhism was like a dream, and said, "No need, he definitely doesn't want anyone to disturb him at this time." Let's go, let's go to the rotten stove boat, it's not easy for Li Dolphin to get out of the palace, don't let him wait for a long time! ”
Li Guinu made great contributions, stayed in the palace and made the Xi official order of the Xi official office, in charge of palace guards, medicines, diseases, crimes, funerals and other affairs, which can be regarded as fat. The rotten stove boat was wrapped by Xu You overnight, docked near the Qingxi Middle Bridge, Li Guinu got on the boat first, Xu You came later, and there was no greeting when he met, and he asked himself: "Jiang Ziyan entered the palace last night, do you know?" ”
"Originally, I didn't know, but after the deliberations of the West Hall of the Lang Monarchs were dispersed today, the Lord had just returned to the Lin Guang Hall to rest, and the Queen introduced Jiang Ziyan to the Lord ......"
"Huh?" Xu You was a little confused, even if he had the Divine Illumination Technique now, he still couldn't guess Xu Shunhua's true thoughts, from childhood to adulthood, without exception, and said, "What does the Lord say?" ”
"The Lord seems to be ...... He seemed to be quite pleased, gave a banquet, talked with Jiang Ziyan with a long arm, and heard that he would also be asked to be the leader of the Su Guards......"
Xu You was so confused that his head hurt!
